How to report changes after admission

Our decision to admit you is based upon the assumption that you complete the planned courses listed on your application and earn satisfactory grades. You must notify us promptly if you drop or switch a course, or earn less than a C grade in a course. In many cases we will accommodate your changed schedule or help you find a way to make up a low grade. Failure to inform us of these changes can be grounds for admission denial.

Inform us of changes

You are required to notify us through MyAdmissions immediately of any changes regarding:

Name, address(es), e-mail address or Social Security Number
D and F grades not already reported in your application
Courses in progress or planned, if different from information reported in your application
High school, college or university attended (this includes summer sessions)
Tests taken or planned (this includes test scores, test dates for the ACT Assessment plus Writing, SAT Reasoning test, SAT Subject tests)
- Transfer students must also notify us of any changes to International Baccalaureate, known as IB, or Advanced Placement, known as AP, exam scores
Grades or scores on any official transcript or record

D or F grades

You are required to notify us through MyAdmissions of any of the following circumstances:

First-years: You received any D or F grades in "a-g" coursework during your senior year.

Transfers: You received any D or F grades in transferable college courses.

Along with the notification, we require a written explanation and your plans for making up your non-passing grade.

We encourage you to repeat the course or take a comparable course to clear the deficiency. Keep in mind that repeating or otherwise making up a non-passing grade does not guarantee admission to UC Davis. Seek advice from your high school or college counselor before you take any action to correct these grades.

Dropping a course

Dropping a course can affect your admission, so we strongly encourage you not to drop any courses listed on your application. You must maintain your first-year "a-g" subject requirements or transfer preparation to maximize your opportunity for admission and enrollment.

Seek advice from your high school or college counselor before you drop a course. Our admission counselors may help you establish whether you still meet UC admission requirements.
